This antique Christmas advertisement was from F.A.O. Schwarz and was intended to be cut out and used as a Christmas ornament. It came from an 1880’s Harper’s magazine.

F.A.O. Schwarz is the oldest toy store in the United States, which was founded in 1862, by German immigrant Frederick August Otto Schwarz. Originally, it was called, “Toy Bazaar”, in its first store in Baltimore, and according to information I found on the internet, the year this advertisement was published, was the first year the initials, “F.A.O. Schwarz” were used to identify the company.
If you print it on cardstock paper and punch a hole in the top, it would make an adorable vintage style ornament.
You can also print it on Shrinky Dinks plastic for a more durable ornament The directions to make them are here.
